Prospects of Ghe BIG Railroad Deal
NKw Y0RK. March I1.-Ths felIowii !
statement 10 made By one OF the synsi-
cate which is about to acquire eontro
Of the Baltimore 4 Ohio Railway
"President Garrett was granted an sx
tension Of time in which TO take up tha
stosk, and be will not hold TO techni
calities. Regarding the exact tefms
there 10 no option to give any one per-
500, bot q written agreement giving the
party the right to buy the stock, and
this PARTY, although named in the con.
tract, is clearly understood by Garrett
and the parties conducting the neGotia-
tions. The price is not more than 500
but whether 10 10 fAore or not, he will
net say. GaErett will be represented in
the sYndicate, and Gsuld will also be
represented there. The sale of prop
erty when eliminated will bring about
a settlement Of the question Of interest
Of New York, and the telegraph and ex-
press lines will be sold. Sully has the
same interest IS before in the syndi-
cate, and all the interests are working
in harmony. The negotiations referring
to the sale TO the Richmond Terminal
failed On account Of the refusal Of the
Executive Oommittse yesterday TO CON-
sent 10 the Issue of she additional stock
necessary. The stock Will be paid for
10 cash, which will either be Subscribed
at once by the Syndioate or loaned by
she First National Bank, Drexel, Nor
gan 4 Co., or by Winslsw, L9nie 4 Co.,
Who will issue negotiable certificates
for il. The probability at present, how
ever, is that the necessary cash will be
subscribed. The formation of new
company is not contemplated. The
securities may ultimately be sold to the
Richnond Terminal Company, but at q
higher price than that paid by the syn
dicate.
President GARRETT WILL CARE FOR
BALTIMORE
BALTIMORE, March ia private dis
patch received this afternoon from New
York states that the deal is not sf and
that il will be consummated. The fol-
lowing has Just been received from the
Baltimore & Ohio Office: "Mr. Garrett's
attention was called to the newspaper
reports regarding the proposed railroad
arrangements. He refused to talk fur
ther upen the subject, bat said that
whatever arrangements we're made
would commend themselves TO the oom
munity Of Baltimore and be recognized
as protective, wise and valuable to all
Interests involved"
TWO INTERVIEWS ON THE BIG SCHEME.
WASHINGTON, March II. The evening
papers say that all Who called at Work
iey's Hotel today to see Robert Garrett
about the great Railroad deal were re-
fused except Colonel Harry Clarke.
Manager of the Baltimore & Ohio Tele-
graph line. About noon Garrett and
Colonel Clarke took a cab and drove
away together. 90 the formers return
be was asked for news. He said, 81
have none, you must know that matters
are in such a condition as to prevent my
speaking, at least for the present"
Col. Clarke was afterwards seen,I and
better results we're obtained. He said
"Only one statement made Ia the press
90 far has the stamp of actual truth
and that vas published yesterday, to
the effect that 10 deal looking to the
selling of the Baltimore 4 Ohio from

aeement in bis hands to bring about his
fathers dream 10 obtain an entrance 10
New York City and establish through
connection to New Orleans. To this
end the proposition was made to convey
q controlling interest of the Baltimore
4 Ohio to q syndicate Of which the
Reading, Jersey Central, Richmond
Terminal and BAlti nore 4 Ohio Com
panies we're ell to be parties. Just here
10 where every one seems 10 have been
far off. The proposition to dispose Of a
controlling interest in the Baltimore 4
Ohio was made With the distinct under
standing that Mr.. Garrett vas to be
placed al the head of the syndicate.
The premature publicity given to the
matter has naturally retarded toe
scheme, but do not think il has placed
1t beyond oonsammation."
